Table 5-4 ADC0 Signal Descriptions (1) This ADC Trigger input signal has a debounce function. For more information on I/O Debounce configuration, see the TRM Device Configuration chapter.
(2) The General Purpose Input signal associated with this ADC0_AIN input has a debounce function when ADC0 is configured to operate in GPI mode. For more information on configuring ADC0 to operate in GPI mode, see the TRM Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) section in the Peripherals chapter. For more information on I/O Debounce configuration, see the TRM Device Configuration chapter.
(3) The ADC0_AIN[7:0] inputs only have hysterisis when ADC0 is configured to operate in GPI mode.
(4) Any unused ADC0_AIN inputs must be pulled to VSS through a resistor or connected directly to VSS when VDDA_ADC is connected to a power source.
(5) The ADC0_REFP and ADC0_REFN reference inputs are analog inputs which must be treated like high transient power supply rails, where ADC0_REFN is expected to be connected directly to the PCB ground plane along with all other VSS pins, and ADC0_REFP is connected to a power source capable of providing at least 4mA of current. ADC0_REFP may be connected to the same power source as VDDA_ADC0 if the voltage tolerance of the supply provides an acceptable accuracy for the ADC reference. A high frequency decoupling capacitor must be connected directly between ADC0_REFP and ADC0_REFN. The high frequency decoupling capacitor should be placed in the ball array on the back side of the PCB and connected directly to the ADC0_REFP and ADC0_REFN pins with vias. ADC0_REFP may be connected to VSS if ADC0 is not used and VDDA_ADC0 has been connected to VSS. The high frequency decoupling capacitor described above will not be required if ADC0 is not used and ADC0_REFP is connected to VSS. See the Pin Connectivity Requirements section for more information on ADC0 connectivity.
(6) ADC0_REFP is connected to VDDA_ADC0 inside the ALX packaged devices.
(7) ADC0_REFN is connected to VSS inside the ALX packaged devices.
